Lisa Vatch | Serving Your Cause
The Office and Board of Pro Bono and Public Interest presents a program on how LL.M. Lisa Vatch saw a gap in services and decided to fill it by creating her own foundation. Lisa was born without a sense of smell, but her condition was not diagnosed until she was a teenager. Not wanting others to face the same predicament and witnessing a lack of awareness and sensitivity for this problem by both the public and the legal and medical community, she created a web-based Canadian foundation that serves 1000s of people from all over the world. At Duke Law, she has turned this into a pro bono project and had two other law students working with her. In addition to learning about Lisa’s work, Associate Dean Carol Spruill, speaks about the opportunities young lawyers have to serve on boards, and invites audience members to share their experiences.
Recorded on March 30, 2004 Duke University, School of Law.
